Hyaluronic acid (1.0 - 1.5 MDa)

Hyaluronic acid is what they call in chemistry, a polysaccharide. The most famous polysaccharide that we know in food is starch. A polysaccharide is several monosaccharides together. An example of a monosaccharide is, for example, glucose or sucrose. The monosaccharides of Hyaluronic Acid are D-glucuronic acid and D-N-acetylglucosamic acid.

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in our bodies, of which no less than 50% can be found in our skin. There, it is responsible for hydration and keeping the skin supple.

Traditionally, hyaluronic acid was obtained from the combs of roosters. Fortunately, biotechnology has ensured that we no longer need this. Our plant-based Hyaluronic Acid is therefore obtained from bacterial cultures in a lab. A lot more efficient and animal-friendly.

Hyaluronic Acid vs Sodium Hyaluronate

Hyaluronic acid consists of two components: hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate. The component Hyaluronic Acid is poorly soluble in water. This type of hyaluronic acid is often found in fillers. The second component: Sodium hyaluronate, is a salt extracted from the hyaluronic acid. This salt is soluble in water and much easier to process in cosmetics. Most commercial hyaluronic serums that you can find on the market contain Sodium Hyaluronate. Our Hyaluronic Acid also consists of this.
